Getting to know Michelle Kushmakova

Navigating life as a child, teen, or young professional comes with unique challenges, and I’m here to help. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I specialize in working with kids, young teens, and emerging professionals, creating a warm, supportive space where you can express yourself freely. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, life transitions, academic or career stress, or just feeling stuck, we’ll work together to build confidence, resilience, and clarity. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take on life’s challenges with a sense of balance and self-assurance.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but my approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, creating a safe space where you can openly express yourself. I believe in a balance of deep listening and active guidance, helping you develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Whether you're here to process emotions, build coping strategies, or gain clarity on your path, we’ll work at your pace. My goal is to support you in feeling more empowered, understood, and confident in yourself. Therapy is a journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach to therapy is collaborative, tailored, and client-centered. In our first session, we'll focus on understanding your concerns, goals, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I create a safe and supportive environment where you can share openly at your own pace. From there, we'll work together to develop a personalized plan using evidence-based techniques that best fit your needs—whether it's managing anxiety, building confidence, navigating life transitions, or strengthening emotional resilience. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Therapy is a journey, and I’ll be here to guide and support you every step of the way.
